Fetal balloon surgery tested to save babies with severe hernia

NCT ID NCT06179472

Summary

This study is testing a fetal surgery procedure called FETO to see if it helps babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia survive and have better long-term health. During pregnancy, doctors place a tiny balloon in the baby's windpipe to help the lungs grow, then remove it before birth. The study follows 20 babies and their mothers to compare this surgery to standard prenatal care.
